Sunnykids Program: Angle 1:

A children’s charity organisation says the addition of a new support program will help increase safety for vulnerable children on the Sunshine Coast.

SunnyKids ‘It Takes A Village’ program builds on the state government’s Act for Kids and United Synergies programs, and will provide a range of support services to act as a safety net for children in need.

CEO Chris Turner says the program – to be launched today – will target over a thousand children who need help, but are unable to access it.

Chris Turner: “We’re looking forward to having here on the Sunshine Coast, quite possibly for the first time anywhere in Australia, a system that can reach out to the kids who are in absolute crisis, but not let go of those ones who are vulnerable and heading that way.”
